Studio Technologies Unveils Dante-Enabled Products

Studio Technologies has unveiled a range of new Dante-enabled products designed for broadcast, production, and systems-integration applications. They include portable and rack-mounted units that support mic/line input, line output, and talent cueing functions with highly-targeted application-specific configurations.

The products join Studio Technologies' line of Dante-enabled units, all released since the company's adoption of Audinate's networked audio solution less than two years ago.

"Studio Technologies is striving to meet the increasing demands for specialized Audio-over Ethernet solutions by creating four more Dante-enabled products," says Gordon Kapes, president of Studio Technologies. "Our new products help to fill in some gaps and provide the 'glue' needed as facilities and installations move toward integrating the Dante audio networking solution more fully into the audio chain."

Model 5205 2-Channel Mic/Line Input to Dante Interface
The Model 5205 is a general-purpose audio input device for use in Dante Audio-over-Ethernet applications. The compact, portable unit is Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) powered and features two mic/line inputs with adjustable gain, P48 phantom power and level metering. The 5205 provides excellent audio performance with rapid setup and ease of use.

Model 5330 Flex-Use Analog Audio/Dante Interface
The Model 5330 features a combination of analog audio inputs, outputs and monitor features that allow it to excel in a wide range of applications. It is well-suited for use in stadium, educational and corporate facilities that are being upgraded to Dante Audio-over-Ethernet media networking technology. The lightweight aluminum enclosure mounts in one space (1U) of a 19-inch rack and is powered by 100 to 240V, 50/60 Hz.

Model 5414 4-Channel Mic/Line Input & Line Output Interface
The Model 5414 is a high-performance audio input/output unit, suitable for applications including broadcast 'booth kits'; corporate, government and stadium media rooms; and as a front-end interface for press feed systems. Features include four mic/line inputs on the front panel with adjustable gain, P48 phantom power, high-pass filtering and level metering. The back panel includes four balanced line-level analog outputs. The flexible monitor section provides single or dual-channel source selection, audio level meters, and dual 1/4-inch headphone jacks. Powered by 100 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, the lightweight unit mounts in one space (1U) of a 19-inch rack.

Model 43D Dante to IFB Interface
The Model 43D is a specialised audio interface designed for broadcast and related IFB and talent cue applications. Two independent, 2-channel powered IFB outputs provide audio and 28 Vdc for supporting connection of portable listen-only user beltpack devices. Two transformer-balanced "-10" line-level analog outputs are provided for connection to devices such as wireless IFB transmitters, battery-powered user beltpacks and amplified loudspeakers. Housed in a lightweight "1/2-rack" enclosure with optional rack-mounting front panels, the unit can be powered by POE or an external source of 12 Vdc.
